You could start by editing your profile to remove the link to your CPAN profile, which includes your apparent real name. ¹

I've seen other accounts renamed to something like "anonymized account on user request".

The reason why those posts can't be just deleted or transferred to anonymous monk is that this would damage the containing threads, IIRC.

Others replied and implicitly referenced the content.

Furthermore can I find two dozen posts from others referencing you by name.

Do you expect the gods to alter those posts too?

And of course there is the wayback machine exemplifying that the internet never forgets.

May I suggest a compromise?

Clean your home node of all personal details - probably also your PAUSE account - and ask the gods to rename your account to a moniker of your liking and finally set your password to 0 to commit digital suicide.

Please keep in mind that the gods are doing this job for free and you can't expect to change everything because you had a change of mind.

I think this is a reasonable approach with max profit for min investment. :)

¹) I just remembered the source of this bit of info User Profile Element: CPAN author ID. You might want to also look into this.

update

I noticed now that you repeatedly say in this thread that it's more a general desire, not a personal need.

Sorry, for me OP didn't read like that.
